  3. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series
    Hi all. I'm hoping someone with some knowledge of the N52 engine could help me out. My car is totally un-drivable unless I disconnect the Vanos solenoids OR the Eccentric Shaft Sensor. When I disconnect either of them it runs absolutely fine - with a slight loss of performance of course. I've...

    Hi, anyone have any info on BMW UK service bulletins? I have found the North American service bulletin regarding VANOS, Camshaft Position Sensor, Emission, particularly if these error codes arise after an Oil Change. Long story short, had my car serviced when getting new tyres at Halfords (best...

    My son has a 2006 Series 3 BMW 330i with the N52 engine and I have been looking after it while he has been away and giving it a weekly 30 min, 20 mile drive. I have noticed that it is using engine coolant and after the 30 min drive, some 200ml (1/5 of a litre) of coolant has gone judging by the...

    I have a 2006 325i with the N52B25 218hp engine, manual gearbox. Symptoms are generic (loss of power throughout the rev.range, stuttering at low RPM/full throttle, high fuel consumption). Sometimes I get error codes - cyl. 4, 5 and 6 misfire. I could also find out, that the problem is that the...

    I need to replace the valve cover gasket on my 2007 3.0 Si N52 engine done 60,000 miles. We have had this car for 3 years now and I have only had to change the starter motor and clean the vanos solenoids. So although I am comfortable working on the engine, I need to get all the advise that I...

    As the title says I'm looking at a very high mileage N52 and would never consider a car with this mileage, however I only hear and see good things about the N52 and for an E92 330i with all the options I could want for only £3.7k I think it's a bargain. Even if bits were to go wrong the other...

    Hi all. I’ve recently checked my smooth running values on my code reader and noticed that cylinder 5 is way out of tolerance. Also noticed the engine has a slight missfire and seems under power at times. Would this be a failing coil or injector. I’d be confident in changing the coil but id...

    I have a 2006 330i N52 E91. I had a couple of DISA codes 3 years or so ago (c. 130,000 miles) and ended up replacing the large (upper) and small (lower) DISA's with new genuine OEM. Wind forward a few years (now 176,000 miles) and I've got a "2AA8" code - no other codes and idles fine - so I...

    Hi guys, I've been trying to track down an oil leak on my recently acquired E91 (325). The seller replaced the rocker gasket in a bid to sort, but it's not worked. Last weekend I got under the car and cleaned everything up as I wasn't sure if the oil was left over from the previous attempt...

    Hello, new on here. After a lot of research my choice is essentially between a 2008 125i with n52 engine from non main dealer with the usual ‘warranty’ (appears to generally be worthless) or a 2010 118i similar mileage from main dealer as part of used approved with bmw warranty. Both have fsh...
